Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-05-28

pernsing Mr.. Cumberland's strong and
nervous delineations, We cease to wonder
at Nihilism, and we must pause and re-
fleet before we can screw our condemna-
ton OF the dynamite bomb up to its us
ual high conscientious standard. In the
prosecutions OF the Jews, the brutal
officialism" OF Russia was the most
effective Russian weapon. 1t eagerly
lent its terrors in aid OF the
fanaticism and superstition of the Rus
sian Church. To the frenzy of religious
hate was added the brutality of the Rus
sian police and soldiery, and the knife of
fanaticism was edged by the cruely Of
despotism. Through Mr.. Cumberland's g
pages runs a rich vein of old Jew
ish mysticism. The inspiration of
the ancient prophet, and the visions
Of the seer of old are the instru-
mentalities by which crime is un-
yelled, and the awful punishment OF
OF guilt accomplished. The closing scenes
are intensely dramatic, and in "The
Rabbits SPELL" Mr.. Cumberland has
eloqueRtly pleaded the cause of the op.
pressed, deeply branded the oppressor,
and won honor for himself.

PRACTICAL PROHIBITION.

The Ohio and Illinois Liquor Tax laws
amount practically to Prohibition. The
peculiarly Of these Western Liquor Tax
laws is that in each community is given
the power to increase the tax to any ex-
tent it chooses. or to prohibit the liquor
traffic altogether. This principle of each
community receiving the full benefit
of its own liquor tax appears in the Him
ois law. The words of the law are that
"it shall not be lawful for the corporated
authorities OF any city, town or village in
this State to grant a license for the keep
ing OF dram-shop except upon the pay
ment, in advance, into the treasury OF
city, town or village granting the license,
such sum as may be determined by the
respective authorities of such city, town
or village, not less than at the rate OF
$500 per annum.' Each community is
given the power to raise the tax TO any
limit it chooses, and so many communi-
ties have availed themselves of this to
raise it to the prohibitory link that, ac-
cording to the Chicago Tribune, "pro-
hibition has been so generally estab-
lished by rural communities that it is
now the rule over two-thirds lof the soil
OF the State. In thirty or forty counties
scarcely an open saloon exists"

TRUE TO HIS TRUST.

Criticisms and complaints leveied at
Mr.. Cleveland by Democrats are, rs we
have undertaken on several occasions to
show, altogether out OF order. The entire
Democratic party, through its representa-
tives at Chicago, declared in favor of
genuine civil service reform, and nomi-
mated genuine civil service reformer !;
and we do not suppose there is an in
telligent - certainly not an honest -
Democrat in the country who imagined
that Mr.. Cleveland was playing the
hypocrite. No Democrat believed that
Mr.. Cleveland, after his election, would
violate a law passed by Democratic
Congress, and inaugurate what is known
as the spoils system. The President has
carried out his policy in good shape He
has enforced both the letter and the spirit
mended his administration ann Uue
Democratic party to that large conserva-
tive party at the North, the sympathy
and support OF which will ensure Demo-
cratic success at the next election.

REDUCE TAXATION.

If there is anyone thing in National leg
islative demands which calls louder for
prompt and vigorous action, that one
thing is undoubtedly the demand for the
reduction OF taxation. This is a matter
that admits Of the least possible delay
Reduction OF taxation is rapidly assuming
the form OF an imperative National neces-
sity. The accumulations of the treasury are
already enormous, and to allow them to
60 on at the present rate, must, in q short
time bring about the direst financial ca
lamities. The way in which the surplus
revenue is piling up in the Treasury is a
staggering problem in National addition
and multiplication. The exec 's Of re-
ceipts over expenditures is now from
Sl0,000,000 to $l2,0O0,0OO per month.
The bnrden OF day is al
ways sufficient, and it is the
rankest injustice and oppression
to weigh the people down with load
there is no earthly necessity OF their
carrying. In fact, they would be far
better off without this added burden.
The revenues should be cut down at the
earliest possible moment at least $780,
100000 year. Taxation beyond the
public needs is direct and fragrant
private robbery. The Government is
annually stealing from the people
SlOO,OO0,000. Was there ever a more
gigantic theft than this? And
tits the very wantonness of theft! The
Government has no use whatever for
this enormous sum. One hundred mil
lions OF dollars are yearly filched from
the people for mere boarding purposes.
This is not in any measure the fault of
the Government. The Administration is
but an irresponsible agent in the matter.
Legislation has legalized the theft,
and the Government must con-
summate it. This is case
solely f9r Congressional consider
alton and action. And as such the peo-
pie can charge this enormous item to the
already onerous and overshadowing ac-
count OF Republicanism 1t is the old
heaven OF Republicanism which works
against relief from unnecessary taxation.
IL is the Republican itch for public plum
DER which thus continues to rob the peo-
pie. But the indications are, that the
patience OF the people is about ex-
hansted' They want no surplus OF rev.
enne, and will not longer submit to the
thriving imposition.

O'BRIEN'S CAUSE.

The fact that 95, 900 OF the inhabitants
OF Kerry are Lansdowne's tenants indi-
Gates the magnitude of the cause O'Brien
is engaged in. In 1850 the total popula-
ton of the county was 100000. Land
lordism has cursed it. The rents de-
manded by Lansdowne have been more
than the tenants could possibly pay, and
cruel eviction has followed. Neither
Lansdowne nor his representatives have
denied a single statement in regard to
the heartless evictions said to have been
going on in Kerry. 1t must be con-
cluded that O'Brien's terrible tale is true.
If the recital of it shames the noble lord
into more humane policy, Mr.. O'Brien
will be not only justified, but amply re-
warded.

WHAT is DEATH?
AphOrfsms and APOPhtheRISms on
the End of Individual Existence.

the End of Individual Existence.
For THE DEMOCRAT, by Leo Halfeli.
The following does not aim to be a
dogmatic presentation, but only rosary,
as it were, OF some brilliant pearls from
the deep bosom of Schopenhaulk' pess-
mistic philosophy, as best demonstrated
in his great and grand chef d'Guvre,
"The World as VIII and Conception. F"
In his addenda to the fourth book of said
work, Chapter MI. treats on death,
and Its Relations to the Indestructibility
of Our Being as Such" 1t is prefaced
by a saying OF the great ancient philos-
opher, Lav-Tseu-Tav-te-K King, "All men
unanimously desire to deliver them
selves of death; they know not how to
deliver themselves of life."l
Death is the real inspirational genius
of philosophy. 1t is very doubtful
whether, without death, there would be
any philosophizing at all.
The brute lives without real knowledge
of death, hence the brute individuum en-
joys directly the entire permanence of
the species, being conscious of itself only
as endless. With man came, simulta-
neously with reason, necessarily the
frightening certitude Of death. But,
as throughout in nature there is
for every evil a remedy, or at
least a substitute, thus the same refe-
ton which gave the knowledge Of death
supplies metaphysical views which fur
nish consolation, and of which the brute
is neither in need nor able. 1t is princi-
pally to this purpose that all religions and
all philosophical systems are directed,
thus being the antidote of the certainty
of death, produced by rejecting reason
from her own means. The degree, how
ever, in which they attain this end, is
very much varied, and surely some one
religion or philosophy is sure to enable
man much more than another to face
death with placid countenance. Brahm.
anism and Buddhism which teach man
to consider himself as the primal
being, the Brdhn, to which all coming
and going are foreign, can dc
much more in that direction than sys.
] TENS and religions which teach him that
